I actually know Melty Blood players who play purely on keyboards (the hitbox is a hybrid between a fight stick and a keyboard anyway).

>>159767423

This last question is pretty deep though, and pretty much underpins why it can be hard for people to get into competitive gaming, especially fighting games.

And with that last page, that's it for now in terms of releases so far. I'll keep my eye out for new releases for the translations. Hope you enjoyed it.

Nah, most people don't end up with champions who can wreck their mentor as their first serious opponent.

>>159770647
Of course not, everyone I know in my local fighting game community started from bottom just like me. Some started after me and progressed faster, others started before me yet are slower to progress. Different strokes for different people.

What I was really pointing out was her question - it's not really "what's so fun about fighting games?" but a veiled way of asking "why should I bother putting my time learning this stuff?", a question casuals should be asking before they try to make the competitive jump.

This is a work of fiction so obviously she's going to have plot armour of some sort, but it's nice to have that introspection about your chosen hobbies.

How yuri is this.

>>159771048
Your goggles may need to be tuned a bit to see it - not as blatant as Saki but we're only three chapters in, I'd give it time.

I guess we'll need to wait and see if panties exist.

Maybe gardening is how Achiga could afford that expensive hotel in Tokyo for Zenkoku.

Even now, playing Melty Blood on anything else feels awkward after playing MBAC and beyond extensively on a keyboard. Meanwhile, after getting used to a fight stick, everything other game only feels natural with it.

Don't bother learning frame data and all the technical stuff before the game. ZTT is right, you're supposed to enjoy learning the game rather than being a two bit shit hustling tech monster from the get go. There has been far too many times I've met or played people that have intimate knowledge of frame data for a game but suck at actual execution.

>The female characters are made so you can't win tournaments with them.
Are there actually games where this is true? I can't think of any.

I can only think of Blazblue since that's the only fighting games I used to play. Bullet.
